Description:
This is a “Road Trip” course involving personal vehicles and carpooling. Students and instructor leave the LMC Brentwood Center at 8:00 am on the last Saturday of the month with a Delta historical destination in mind. Historical narrative or context provided by the instructor enroute to destination via cell, speaker phone, conference call.

The 3-hour class ends with either a “brown bag” picnic lunch or historic restaurant lunch at or near a historic landmark or park. Proof of automobile insurance required. “Release and Agreement to Hold Harmless” to be completed by each participant.

The John Marsh Stone House and surrounding Marsh Creek State Historic Park is one of the newest  historic parks in California. The John Marsh Historic Trust will provide us an exterior tour of the site and background on the importance of Dr. Marsh in pre-Statehood California, Rancho life, and archeological importance (Indigenous People) of the site.  The property and site are rarely open to the public making this an extraordinary opportunity to see the Great Stone House of seven gables and appreciate our Californio Heritage. We continue our historical site motor trip to the Old Marsh Creek Springs Park, Clayton, to picnic.
